Read the text and answer the questions choosing the right answer.

Line number

1. Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you
2. something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be
3. included, he can create a false impression.
4. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars in the
5. lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in
6. for one hundred dollars!”
7. This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he
8. bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big
9. loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted
10. important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not
11. technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
12. Unfortunately candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. A
13. political campaign, like politics, has its foundation in persuasion; their goal is
14. to motivate the masses to stand behind a particular message or group of
15. messages.
16. Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make
17. false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast,
18. “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Aspirin Pills to cure nose pimples.” It
19. fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for
20. the Aspirin Corporation. This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad
21. fact of life: lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie.

a) think carefully about what they read and hear.

a) told about

An innovative __________of fashion and science has resulted in the design of a new technology
in jeans that cleans the air. Helen Storey, professor of fashion and science at The London College of
Fashion, __________up with Dr Tony Ryan, pro-vice-chancellor for the Faculty of Science at the
University of Sheffield, to create what could be a ground-breaking solution to our__________
problems. They discovered that when denim is coated with tiny particles of the chemical titanium
dioxide, it__________ with air and light to absorb and break down harmful emissions in the
environment. The emissions become harmless and are washed away when the jeans are cleaned. This
means we can help clean the air simply by going for a walk.
Ms. Storey and Dr. Ryan have created a company to showcase their invention, called Catalytic
Clothing. Their website says: “Catalytic Clothing seeks to explore how clothing and textiles can be
used as a catalytic surface to purify air, __________ existing technology in a new way.” The
technology is similar to how a catalytic converter in a car helps clean the fuel mix.

Line number
1. Perhaps better known than the Cullinan Diamond is the Hope Diamond, a
2. valuable and rare blue gem with a background of more than 300 years as a world
3. traveler. The 112-carat blue stone that later became the Hope Diamond was mined
4. in India sometime before the middle of the seventeenth century and was first known
5. to be owned by Shah Jahan, who built the TajMahal in memory of his beloved wife.
6. From India, the celebrated blue stone has changed hands often, moving from location
7. to location in distant corners of the world.
8. In the middle of the seventeenth century, a trader from France named Jean Baptiste
9. Tavernier acquired the large blue diamond, which was rumored to have been illegally
10. removed from a temple. Tavernier returned to France with the big blue gem, where the
11. stone was purchased by the Sun King, Louis XIV. Louis XIV had it cut down from 112
12. to 67 carats to make its shape symmetrical and to maximize its sparkle. The newly cut
13. diamond, still huge by any standards, was passed down through the royal family of France,
14. until it arrived in the hands of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. During the French Revolution,
15. Louis XVI and his wife met their fate on the guillotine in 1793, and the big blue diamond
16. disappeared from public sight.
17. The diamond somehow managed to get from France to England, where banker
18. Henry Hope purchased it from a gem dealer early in the nineteenth century. The
19. huge blue stone was cut into a 45.5-carat oval, and at this point it took on the name
20. by which it is known today. The diamond stayed in the Hope family for around a century,
21. when deep indebtedness brought on by a serious gambling habit on the part of one
22. of Henry Hope’s heirs forced the sale of the diamond.
23. From England, the Hope Diamond may have made its way into the hands of the
24. Sultan of Turkey; whatever route it took to get there, it eventually went onto the United
25. States when American Evelyn Walsh McLean purchased it in1911. Mrs. McLean certainly
26. enjoyed showing the diamond off. The guests in her home were sometimes astounded to
27. notice the huge stone embellishing the neck of Mrs. McLean’s Great Dane as the huge pet
28. trotted around the grounds of her Washington, D.C. home. The Hope Diamond later became
29. the property of jeweler Harry Winston, who presented the stunning 45.5 -caratpiece to the
30. Smithsonian in 1958. The Hope Diamond is now taking a well -earned rest following its
31. rigorous travel itinerary and is on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. D C.
32. where it has been since 1958.

51 It can be inferred from the text that the author is not certain

Everybody knows bubble gums, and for young people bubble gum is probably more popular than
chewing gum. It is a type of chewing gum with a particular flavor that is especially designed for
blowing bubbles. __________. In the early 1900s, Frank Fleer experimented with a lot of gum
ingredients to find perfect bubble gum recipe. His first bubble gum recipes were never sold, because
bubble gums were just too sticky. Fleer Chewing Gum Company in Philadelphia had been searching
for years to produce a formula which allowed bubbles to be blown that didn’t stick.
In 1928 Walter Diemer, an accountant for the Fleer gum company, while testing new gum recipes,
noticed the mass was less sticky than regular chewing gum, and while testing it he found out that he
could create bubbles easily. Walter Diemer accidentally founded best recipes for bubble gum.
__________. All the gum was sold in a single day. Diemer’s Bubble gum was the first ever
commercially sold bubble gum. The Fleer Chewing Gum Company began making bubble gum using
Diemer’s recipe. The gum was named and marketed as “Dubble Bubble” gum. This gum was different
from all the other gums.
